In a house at the end of a small alley on Pham Thi Lien Street, Le Phan Quoc is diligently finishing the paintings “Gateway to Dien Tho Palace” and “Hue Features” with Vietnamese lacquer. For him, Rhus Succedanea lacquer (hence forth, R.S. lacquer) has always had a strange attraction because it brings subtle and profound characteristics to a painting that no other material does.

On the occasion of the Lunar New Year of the Cat 2023, Hue Monuments Conservation Center organizes various cultural and artistic activities at Hue Imperial Citadel to introduce to visitors the special and unique features of the Ancient Capital’s culture on the old days and create vibrant atmosphere for the heritage area.

After a colorful opening night, on the evening of June 27, the “Countryside Market in the Festival” responding to Hue Festival 2022 continued to take place with many attractive programs.

Hue is naturally a peaceful, pensive city by being immersed in ancient features for many generations. However, have you ever imagined about a sad but gorgeous Hue on rainy days?
